tl;dr: SOPA and PROTECT IP is bad and Shocker was behind SOPA. Now let’s travel through time and space and RIDER KICK Kamen Rider Decade.
First of all, to the few people who actually take the time to read this, dovac, our provider, was being affected by the strange phenomenon known as DOWNTIME. It reared it’s ugly head when his providers decided to play a rousing game of MUSICAL HARD DISKS with the entire imouto cluster. Half the nerd fandom’s interest sites got affected as well. Most of it is back up, but there will be hell to pay. “Kabuto Kouji Dies In Lava” kind of hell.
Secondly, my 2011 was actually pretty eventful. I got hired, fired and rehired, all in the span of one year. I watched some anime and I loved them all, despite their flaws. I GOT A WAIFU AND NOW I WANT TO OFF MYSELF.
And now, the Seasonal Previews.
Five hundred pictures to explain a six-month journey through Glorious Nippon.
Happy New Year, from Komi and me!
Also please watch out for stray flying cats, arrows and Angry Birds. And always remember to wear knee protection. And look both ways for dragons before crossing the street.
Disclaimer: This entry is for flomu’s Editorial Day, which is inconveniently located 3 days after everyone is either burnt out from wordsmithing for the 12 Days of Anime or are burning themselves out to finish said project. Happy Editorial Day. (The last bit was a joke. Also, the entire article. I have a horrible sense of humor.)
The editorial. A mainstay of any newspaper for any loudmouth editor or senior reporter to fire off his opinion on a thing. Or the outlet of some ivory-tower academic who thinks he has the solution to a certain problem but isn’t blessed with the smarts to get into the lucrative world of science. Or perhaps you ran a school newspaper that one time and you decided to spill the secrets to your biology teacher’s sordid affair with the school lunch on that little strip of paper you call your own.
Once the mainstay of such glorious news outlets like The Onion, the Internet has turned anyone and everyone into the newspaper editorialist. All you need to do is to have an opinion, a place to write and voila! You are now writing editorials! AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
But Woah There, lil’ pardner! Don’t go countin’ yer chickens before they’ve hatched! We gotta find out why did you want to pretend to be running a newspaper in the first place!

It is no secret that I used to poke fun (relatively harmless fun) at people who claimed waifus. I made a crazy joke claim when Freezing aired, just to drive the point home.
Part of it was denial, I suppose. I had… a certain subset of females that I taken a fancy to. I didn’t outright claim them of course, since I didn’t even understand my own feelings from the beginning.
Then I grew up. I learnt certain things about myself. Suddenly, my former feelings made a lot of sense.

Mery Kurisu-Masu from the Kingdom of Biscotti! because Kurisu is totally related to Christmas, which is totally a feastday!
Also a Happy Corgimas to you all!
What, and wrap up the whole thing without mentioning the big hit of the year? Are you kidding? (No it’s not Usagi Drop or PenguinDrum. DOES. NOT. COUNT.)
BUT FIRST, TO SATIATE THE OTHER HALF. OPERATION: SAYAKA BEGINS NAU.
I don’t think I could ever forget the mad rush that was Madoka Magica.
Initially, I didn’t pay too much attention to the show. I’m not too keen on following a show on a weekly basis on account of me not liking the episodic blogging manner of blogging. It takes a lot to make me break this habit, since it’s the only rule I have when doing this blogging thing with regards to anime.
I don’t exactly remember when I finally jumped onto this wildly careening bandwagon. Everyone I knew was going nuts after episode 3. The WTFs were clusterfucking themselves. I knew that if everyone was losing their marbles over what seemed to be a meh show in a meh season, this was supposed to be MASSIVE.
